2009 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne (Central Park)

It has finally begun.🙂

Williams, tralalalalalalalala, Williams 🙂🙂🙂

I'm satisfied. Kimi is doing great. ☕

tralalalalala 🙂

I’ve got a feeling that by Sunday, Kimi Räikkönen is just going to have some fun with everyone...
☕

The way Williams is handling themselves on track right now is quite something 😁 I’m genuinely hoping they can maintain this momentum and stay right at the top of the pack.

I honestly don't think Kimi is feeling the pressure at all... he’ll likely show his true self and what Ferrari is really capable of this Sunday, though I suspect McLaren is facing some seriously massive headaches right now...
I'm happy to see how Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button are doing...

KIMI 🙂🙏

I’ve been looking over the results from this second practice session, and honestly, I think we’re going to see some real trouble regarding these diffusers.

It is incredibly obvious that these three teams using them have a massive advantage.

This needs to be banned immediately; otherwise, the whole competition just loses its meaning.

1. Nico Rosberg Williams 1m26.053s

2. Rubens Barrichello Brawn 1m26.157s

3. Jarno Trulli Toyota 1m26.350s

4. Mark Webber Red Bull 1m26.370s

5. Jenson Button Brawn 1m26.374s

6. Timo Glock Toyota 1m26.443s

And honestly, it’s pretty obvious at this point 🙂

We'll see how everything shakes out tomorrow during qualifying, and even more importantly, during the race itself...☕

I have a feeling that things aren't going to change as much as people think they will.

Those are massive differences.

KERS isn't doing much help here. 😁

It seems to me that some of the teams weren't pushing quite as hard as they probably could have... I mean, why go full throttle and risk blowing out an engine when they've already limited the number of engine changes allowed? It feels like certain outfits are just playing it safe, husbanding their resources... that's just my take on it.
As for Ferrari, they’re the constructors' champions, and honestly, it's like finding a million bucks under the tree on Christmas morning... you wouldn't want to mess up a good thing, and thank God, Ferrari isn't exactly some bottom-tier outfit.

Ferrari went through a twenty-five-year drought where they were basically nothing, so why shouldn't they have a little slip-up again? 😁

Don't mess this up🙂
The only thing that matters right now is seeing Kimi take the win, then we can deal with everything else later...🙂

Just take it easy before you work yourself into a heart attack...😉

Sorry if I'm out of the loop here, but what’s the qualifying format looking like this year?
I feel like I heard something about changes being made.

Easy there. Just be patient. If things look like this tomorrow, I imagine my legal team over at Ferrari will start breathing down Max's neck right away. 😉

It always seems to be the same story, doesn't it? As soon as someone manages to win, they’re immediately labeled a cheat, a fraud, a scoundrel, or whatever other insults people feel like throwing around ☕.

Look, if the FIA says those diffusers are perfectly legal, then the rest of the field just has to deal with it. They can either swallow the dust behind the leaders or get back to the drawing board and design a better diffuser themselves ☕.

I mean, Williams might try to develop one, but given the historical consistency of the FIA's decisions... good luck with that. 😬

I just don't get why they waited until the very last minute to file that protest. 🤷
